Scrapbooking Jokes and Quotes

These where forwarded from a yahoo group that i am on, they where just too good not to share.

Enjoy 

  Q: If a tree falls onto a scrapbook in the forest, and there's nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?

A: It all depends. Is the tree made of acid-free bark? Are the leaves made of lignin? What's the pH level of the tree?

 Q: Whats the difference between a health freak and a scrapbooker.

A: One lays out her fibre for breakfast the other puts fibre on her breakfast layout.

 "Been there, done that, have the Layout!"

 Don't just stand there - Scrap Something!

Here a scrap, there a scrap, everywhere there's

scraps, scraps.

  You better be nice or I will crop you out of my scrapbooks.

 When life makes gives you scraps, make scrapbooks.

 I scrapbook, therefore I am Creative Obsessed Broke

 To Crop or Not To Crop...what a silly question.

 Who Says Size Doesn't Matter? 5X7, 6x6, 8x8, 8.5x11, 12x12

 Smile nice! Don't make me crop you!

 Lord, when my memory goes, please help me find my scrapbook.

Farewell to Michael.

Watching the Michael Jackson Memorial, it hasn’t really started yet they are still getting people into the centre. Made myself a big bowl of popcorn to eat while watching Lipstick Jungle now i feel sick. I got Angel into bed (was quite funny as she was still half asleep and wanted to sleep on her couch and kept going back to it, convinced her to go to bed.

Its just starting now.

The coffin has just come in. gosh I'm crying already.

The pastor is doing his reading.

Mariah Carey & Trey Lorenz singing Ill be there.

Queen Latiffa is on now, Reading a Poem by Dr Maya Angelo.

Maya Angelou's Poem About Michael Jackson: 'We Had Him'

"We Had Him"

Beloveds, now we know that we know nothing, now that our bright and shining star can slip away from our fingertips like a puff of summer wind.

Without notice, our dear love can escape our doting embrace. Sing our songs among the stars and walk our dances across the face of the moon.

In the instant that Michael is gone, we know nothing. No clocks can tell time. No oceans can rush our tides with the abrupt absence of our treasure.

Though we are many, each of us is achingly alone, piercingly alone.

Only when we confess our confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us and we did have him.

He came to us from the creator, trailing creativity in abundance.

Despite the anguish, his life was sheathed in mother love, family love, and survived and did more than that.

He thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style. We had him whether we know who he was or did not know, he was ours and we were his.

We had him, beautiful, delighting our eyes.

His hat, aslant over his brow, and took a pose on his toes for all of us.

And we laughed and stomped our feet for him.

We were enchanted with his passion because he held nothing. He gave us all he had been given.

Today in Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Ghana's Black Star Square.

In Johannesburg and Pittsburgh, in Birmingham, Alabama, and Birmingham, England

We are missing Michael.

But we do know we had him, and we are the world.

Marlon speaking about his love for Michael.

Janet grabs Paris’s hand and comforts her (she was busy fiddling with her little handbag).

Marlon just asked Michael to give Brandon (Marlon's twin brother) a hug for him.

Paris is speaking about her dad. Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine." She has broken down and they are whisking her off the stage.

The stage has emptied.

They are taking the casket out now, Old family photos are on the screen. a single spotlight is shining on the stage where the microphone stands with music playing now a shot of Michael on the screen.

The Pastor is back on with a final prayer asking everyone to hold the hand of the person next to them and bow your heads.

Across the screen a photo of Michael with the words.

I am alive i am here forever.

RIP Michael
